UNCOMMON GOODS ~ UNIQUE GIFTS

If you are not familiar with UncommonGoods, you are in for a treat. The company carries so many
unique products for everyone on your gift or shopping list.

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in
Brooklyn, New York, UncommonGoods is an privately-owned retailer that endeavors
to feature unique designs and handcrafted gifts created in harmony with
the environment and without harm to animals or people. The company run all of
their operations out of the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal, including their
warehouse where the lowest-paid seasonal worker starts at 50% above the minimum
wage.

The company's mission is to support
and provide a platform for artists and designers; in fact, half os what they
sell is made by hand. Most of the products they carry are created here in
the USA, and about one-third of our entire collection incorporates
recycled and/or upcycled materials.

At the core of the company is a great
respect for the integrity of the creative individual and the belief
that it is their responsibility to use their business to impact the world in a
positive way.

about

After spending years in the world of finance, I decided to follow my true passion—curating a life where southern elegance meets southern heritage. That led me to create Splendid Sass, a haven for gathering and sharing my love for design, art and cooking, and TG Hatfield Company, where I embroider fine heirloom linens that will garner hospitality for generations. From the exquisite linens that set the table, to the food that is shared with family & friends, to the warm & cozy room that invites guests, join me as I share the things that inspire me and help create a truly elegant life.
